Experience a new frontier in pain management with Dr Peta Stapleton’s live webinar series on EFT for Chronic Pain and Somatic Symptoms, exclusively on wisemind.com LIVE webinars. Drawing on robust clinical trials and cutting-edge neuroimaging research, Dr Stapleton—an internationally recognized psychologist and EFT researcher—guides you through the science and practice of using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to support clients living with persistent pain.

In this dynamic series, you’ll gain a clear understanding of the neurophysiology of pain and how chronic pain is influenced by both physical and psychological factors. Dr Stapleton will present compelling findings from recent randomized clinical trials, where EFT significantly reduced pain severity and interference, improved quality of life, and decreased somatic symptoms for participants—results sustained even at six-month follow-up. You’ll also discover breakthrough fMRI brain imaging data showing that EFT can alter connectivity in key pain-modulating brain areas, including the medial prefrontal cortex and thalamus, which are linked to pain perception and catastrophizing.

Through practical demonstrations and real-world case studies, learn how EFT’s unique combination of cognitive and somatic techniques calms the nervous system and empowers clients to manage pain more effectively. Whether you’re a clinician or seeking personal relief, this webinar offers evidence-based strategies to transform the experience of chronic pain.

Learning Outcomes from Dr Peta Stapleton’s Live Webinar Series on EFT for Chronic Pain and Somatic Symptoms Understand the neurophysiology of chronic pain and how Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) can modulate pain perception by influencing key brain regions, as demonstrated by fMRI brain imaging and clinical research.

Gain practical skills in applying evidence-based EFT protocols to support clients in reducing chronic pain severity, pain interference, and somatic symptoms, with outcomes supported by randomized clinical trials.

Evaluate the effectiveness of both live and self-paced EFT interventions for chronic pain management, recognizing that both delivery methods yield significant and sustained improvements in pain and quality of life at six-month follow-up.

Learn to integrate EFT into clinical practice as a body-based, accessible strategy for pain management, including tips for addressing emotional factors such as anger and the psychological impact of chronic pain.
